Embracing Life's Ups and Downs with TINI's 'bien'
TINI's song 'bien' is a heartfelt expression of acceptance and resilience in the face of life's inevitable challenges. The lyrics, a mix of Spanish and English, convey a message of gratitude and the importance of embracing both the good and the bad experiences that shape our lives. TINI, an Argentine singer, actress, and model, is known for her emotive music that often touches on personal growth and emotional complexity.
The song begins with a thank you to both chosen and unchosen family, acknowledging the role they play in one's life. It also expresses gratitude for the storms we endure, metaphorically referring to life's trials as 'a lock of hair'—something that may seem significant but is ultimately a small part of a larger picture. The recurring theme is the acknowledgment that it's okay not to be okay, and that happiness isn't about constant joy but also about appreciating the 'gray sky' or the difficult times.
The latter part of the song shifts to a more personal reflection, with TINI recognizing the importance of self-forgiveness, starting anew, and the strength it takes to reach where she is today. The repetition of 'bien' (well) in various contexts underscores the song's central message: life doesn't always have to be perfect, and it's normal to have moments when we're not okay, but there is a hopeful assurance that eventually, everything will be alright.
